Let Them Talk
Hugh Laurie and the Copper Bottom Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just let them talk,
If they want to?
That don't bother me.

I'm gonna keep on till the whole wide world knows,
That I really love you, I really love you so.

And let them whisper for they know no-
What's between you and I

I'm gonna keep on, I'm gonna on loving you?
Till the day that I die?

They'll try to brake up our romance,
They didn't stand a chance.

We have the kind of love that so strong,
We'd be together from now on?

They'll say that gossip comes from the devil's workshop,
And only true love can make it stop?

I'm gonna keep on, I'm gonna on loving you!
Till the day that I die?

Oh they'll envy us, of everything that we do.

But I wanna say it's wonderful
When you love someone,
and that someone and that someone really loves you,
and that someone yeah that someone really loves you,
and that someone and that someone really loves you-

Yeah





And that someone yeah that someone really loves you?

Overall Meaning

In the opening verse of Hugh Laurie’s song “Let Them Talk,” the singer gives a glimpse of their nonchalant attitude towards what others may say or think about their love life or relationship. The singer encourages the gossipmongers to “talk” since their words hold no weight or effect, and they won’t be bothered by it. In the next verse, the singer pledges to declare their love until everyone in the world knows and understands. The message is clear that nothing and no one can stop their love or prevent them from expressing it openly. The following verse speaks to the whisperers, stressing that they know nothing of the love shared between the two people. The singer will continue to love the other person regardless of any negative insinuations or rumors. The bridge reveals that others will inevitably try to interfere and spoil their romance, but they will be unsuccessful. The two lovers share an unbreakable bond, and nothing can diminish the power of their love.


Throughout the song, the singer stresses the strength of their love, which is evident in the line: “We have the kind of love that so strong, We'd be together from now on?” The singer further emphasizes that true love is capable of purifying gossip and making it stop. The final line of the repeating chorus further highlights the overwhelming depth of the singer’s feelings towards their love, stating that they will continue loving that person even beyond death. The notion that true love can remain strong even in the face of death is incredibly powerful and serves as a testament to the intensity of the love shared between these two individuals.

Ce film et ce récital Let Them Talk sont tout simplement fantastiques. J'ai assisté au concert qu'Hugues Laurie et son groupe ont donné à Paris il y a quelques années et cela fait aujourd'hui partie de mes moments inoubliables...

Un remarquable bluesman qui nous a fait tant rire dans des sketches typiquement britanniques... dommage qu'il soit devenu un chirurgien de pacotille dans une série américaine mais il faut bien vivre 😉 .
